sew hip magazine

Hi Sew hip magazine. How good is that? so nice to have an up to date, stylish sewing magazine for all us sewing fans.

New Year already!

wow here we are in 2009. When did that happen. From October to Christmas it has been crazy in the shop, hence no blog updates for some time. SO whats been happening with Mille Moon.

What a fabulous christmas we had in the shop. After the fun of putting up the decorations and xmas tree, We were very busy making gifts to sell in the shop but the nicest thing was finding out what our customers were making for their family and friends this year. Lovely customers bought fabrics, buttons, ribbons, books etc to make gifts. How nice is it to receive something that has been handmade and thought about as a gift. I was certainly inspired and managed to fit in (not sure how) making a few gifts for my family too. The Grandmothers were given lovely patchwork quilted cushions, hampers of homemade fudge, chutneys, pickles etc made by all the family including my two girls, doorstops, cards, all wrapped in beautiful ribbons (from millie moon of course).

SO here are well into January. The Launch of the Millie Moon Sewing school is taking up most of our time at the moment, and the beginners patchwork class is already going well. Take a look at our website for our other classes.

Well now I am back on the Blog, i will try to keep you posted with news on a more regular basis.

Happy New Year to you all.

Workshop with Charlotte Liddle

My Bag and corsage

Sat 20th September, Becki and I went to Libertys in London. What a fabulous place it is. Its always and inspiration for us both to visit the store. This time our visit was to attend a workshop with the creative designer Charlotte Liddle. Charlotte has a fabulous book called 'Stitch and Sparkle' (available at Millie Moon). Take a look at her website for more amazing products. www.charlotteliddle.co.uk

The afternoon was amazing. A small group of 5 ladies sat in a small initmate corner of Libertys at the back of the haberdashery department. Charlotte explained the instructions and away we went with some fab fabrics (amy butler). We all made a clutch bag with a great corsage on the front. Half way through we were brought tea and cakes, far too much for the group. Bags finished we said our farewells to Charlotte and the group and spent more time wandering amongst the amazing fabrics and trimmings that they have.

Thank you to the other members of the group Mercy, Jess and Dionne pictured with Becki above.
